Postpartum Healing Recipes

The postpartum mother needs to be nourished, warmed, rested and cared for. Deeply.

This is a simple collection of the herbal remedies and recipes I have used and gathered through more than 20 years of working with women around birth and postpartum — drawing from Ayurveda, traditional herbal medicine and my own experience of caring for mothers.

Inside are simple recipes for healing teas, milk drinks, sitz baths, perineal care, herbal ice pads and oils — things you can actually make and use in those precious weeks after birth.

And don't wait until the baby arrives. These are wonderful things to prepare during pregnancy, so your herbs, oils and ingredients are already gathered and ready when you come home with your baby.

No complicated protocols. No overwhelming information.

Just good, old-fashioned postpartum care for the mother — to help her body come back to itself, slowly and gently.

Warmth. Rest. Nourish.

This is how we care for mothers.
